Iraq Joins “Most-Endangered” List

For the first time, the World Monuments Fund has listed an entire country as endangered. It’s Iraq, and the country joins other threatened sites from 55 countries that include a Modernist building in New York and a hut in Antarctica. “The list of 100 at-risk sites, issued by the privately financed World Monuments Fund every two years, is chosen from nominations made by a broad array of experts in archeology and the arts.”
